SOYA ASAE: SORA IRO [2013]

Contemporary Art Gallery, Art Tower Mito, 2013 | Softcover, 142 pages | 22 x 285 mm

A richly illustrated catalogue accompanying Japanese artist Asae Soya’s solo exhibition held at the Contemporary Art Gallery, Art Tower Mito, Japan, from July to October 2013. The exhibition - and this first edition publication - captures the full breadth of Soya’s artistic evolution, from her early watercolour paintings to her immersive installations and innovative video works.

“Sora Iro,” meaning colour of the air, reflects Soya’s enduring fascination with the relationship between colour, light and space. The exhibition presented a poetic interplay of media: delicate paintings, large-scale projections and site-specific installations that transformed walls, floors and glass surfaces into shimmering fields of colour and movement. Through subtle gradations, airy compositions and a masterful balance of pigment and space, Soya evokes both stillness and movement, inviting moments of quiet reflection. 

With vivid reproductions and exhibition views, Sora Iro is more than a record of a landmark show - it is an atmospheric journey into Soya’s world, where the shifting hues of the sky become a medium for contemplation, wonder and play.
